I am here putting on to caps- representing myself as a former speaker and then as a Secretary of Former National Assembly Presiding Officers Forum . I wish to extend the apologies of some of our leaders who are unavoidably absent who have loved to be here but unfortunately they are not within Abuja. We are here because of the special relationship we have with the leadership of the House . I have the authority to thank the Speaker and to commend the House for deciding that we should have this kind of forum where the institution of the House of Representatives is being returned to the rightful owners. It was Confucius that told his disciple that three things that are essential to governance are food, weapon and trust. And he said if a leader cannot hold on to the three, let him first cast away the weapon, then food but he should never cast away trust and this still hold true till today.

General Ishola Williams (rtd) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to “replace the Ministry of Women Affairs with a Ministry of Family Affairs if the government is to effectively address the root causes of violence and Internally Displaced Persons in the North-east of Nigeria.”
General Williams was speaking today at a media roundtable on issues relating to addressing the root causes of violence and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Northeast of Nigeria at Westown Hotels, Ikeja.
The roundtable organised by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) in collaboration with the Ford Foundation was chaired by Hon Justice Samuel C. Oseji of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division.
According to General Williams, “We need to urgently redefine politics and power and the linkage between the two with money. In addition, faith, beliefs and action require two-pronged approach: Counter narratives in terms of beliefs, and guidance and role models in terms of action without politics. It is also important to emphasize family (e.g. Ministry of family affairs instead of Women Affairs) with emphasis equally on girl-child and boy-child. We cannot continue to ignore the key role of boys and young men in perpetrating conflict.”
